Connecting the AT-2914GP-PSU Power Cord to the AT-2914GP/SP
Network Adapter
Using the AT-2914GP-PSU power supply unit, the adapter can provide a
PD connected to the adapter through the copper port up to 25.5W of
power. In addition to providing more power to the PD, the adapter allows
communications even when the system is powered off.
Without the AT-2914GP-PSU power supply unit, the AT-2914GP/SP
adapter provides the PD with limited power, depending on the capability of
the system's PCIe 12V power rail. It is typically 10-15W; however, verify
your system's specifications and derate by 20% for planning purposes.
To connect the AT-2914GP-PSU power supply unit to the AT-2914GP/SP
adapter, perform the following procedures:
1. Make sure that the AT-2914GP/SP network adapter is installed in your
system properly.
To install the AT-2914GP/SP network adapter, see “Installing a
Network Adapter” on page 36.
2. Insert the AT-2914GP-PSU power cord connector to the front panel of
the AT-2914GP/SP network adapter and turn the connector clockwise.
See Figure 16.

3. Connect the other side of the power cord to an appropriate AC power
source.
The AT-2914GP/SP adapter starts using the AC power source to
provide power to a connected PD.
